Classiq — vendor dossier

Classiq

Software & middleware
C

Hardware-agnostic quantum software platform. Developers express algorithms as high-level functional models in Qmod; the Classiq synthesis engine compiles them into circuits optimised for a chosen backend (IBM, AWS Braket, Azure Quantum, IonQ, Quantinuum, Rigetti, Pasqal, OQC) under user-specified depth, width, and gate-count constraints. Founded in Tel Aviv in 2020 by Nir Minerbi, Yehuda Naveh, and Amir Naveh. Raised a USD 110M Series C in May 2025 led by Entrée Capital, and added AMD Ventures, Qualcomm Ventures, and IonQ in a November 2025 strategic up-round, bringing cumulative funding above USD 200M.
